If Notre Dame had been raised to the ground by the fire and then rebuilt then the answer is yes, that would have been considered a new building. Downtown Warsaw and the “old” Dresden are also comprised of new buildings which have been made to look the same as those that were demolished during WW2.
- PinguTS 7y agoI cannot say anything about Warsaw. I was never there. I can add to Dresden and Nuremberg. Both of them where nearly destroyed and rebuild. But the rebuild is not an exact rebuild. It is new and modern buildings. But there are exceptions like the Frauenkirche in Dresden and alike buildings here in Nuremberg. They are almost exactly rebuild in the name of conserving heritage. Yes, they are also rebuild or even retrofitted with new things like electric and plumbing. But that doesn't mean they are new buildings.
- gindely 7y agoDoes Warsaw and Dresden continue? Or are they new cities, since their buildings were destroyed?
- frosted-flakes 7y agoAs you said, their building were destroyed, not the cities themselves. The cities were damaged and restored, just like a classic car.
